Shane illegally spams and harasses thousands of companies trying to sell Vultr partner program… honestly I’ve been pretty impressed with Vultr’s low-profile professionalism in years past so this was both surprising and very insulting as well.

He previously was a phone spammer for Verizon and other brands, too… what a horrible fucking idea, Vultr. Read More
